All proceeds will benefit the March of Dimes campaign to reduce the rate of premature births, birth defects and other serious threats to babies’ health. More than half a million babies are born too soon each year, including about 20,000 in Ohio, according to a news release.

A cookbook featuring recipes from the event as well as favorite childhood recipes from each chef will be sold for $15, with all proceeds also going toward March of Dimes, DiSalle-Horns said.

Hosted in more than 200 cities across the country, Signature Chefs Auctions have raised more than $132 million for the March of Dimes since 1989, according to its website. In 2009, the events raised more than $15 million.
